Pregnancy Tests

We understand that an unplanned pregnancy can be very difficult to experience. It truly is a life-changing event. That is why it is important to take a pregnancy test and be sure of how far along you are in your pregnancy. Knowing these simple, but crucial, facts can make a huge difference when taking the next steps.

A visit to Boston Center for Pregnancy Choices will give you the information and confidence to take those steps knowing you have made the right decision for yourself and the people closest to you. By making an appointment with us, you will get access to a free, lab-quality pregnancy test that is 99 percent accurate and a referral for a free ultrasound for those who qualify.

How Do I Know If I am Pregnant?

While the most common symptom of pregnancy is a missed period, symptoms will vary because every body and every pregnancy is different. If you are pregnant, you might also experience the following symptoms:

Nausea

Food Aversions

Bloating/Cramping

Darkening of the Nipples

Fatigue

Mood Swings

Frequent Urination

Spotting

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, especially a missed period, it is important to take a pregnancy test. At Boston Center for Pregnancy Choices, we can provide you with a lab-quality, free pregnancy test.

How Do Pregnancy Tests Work?

Our pregnancy tests are able to detect HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), the hormone released during pregnancy as early as seven days after conception or 21-24 days after the first day of your last period. Tests are self-administered at our center and we will discuss the results with you immediately following the test.
